Hi, just acquired (but not received yet) my first Tulwar, can anyone identify the markings on the blade. In fact any information or comments on this sword will be most welcome.
Hilt is 5'' (approx. 12.5 cm) blade is 30'' (approx. 75cms) The hilt is described as brass

Nice tulwar! The hilt is Sikh and the markings seem to me a variation of the eyelash markings usually found on some tulwar blades.
